Oh, (Gb)bro ken hearts and scars in on ly (Bbm)plac es she could see.

’Cause (B)she just want ed, she just want ed to (B)feel some thing.

And (Gb)as she sat there on her bed

(Bbm)think ing ’bout what those girls said,

(Abm)tears streamed from her eyes,

she cried:

“If there’s a God out there

please hear my prayer.

I’m (Abm)lost and I’m scared

and I’ve (B)got no where else

to go.

I’ve come a long, long way,

but I’m not sure I can make it much far ther.

So if you’re lis (Gb)ten ing

could you give a help ing hand

to your (Gb)daugh ter?”

Well her path start ed to change.

She (Gbmaj7)reached out and grabbed God’s grace and (Abm)fi nal ly she saw a light.

Un til the night where she de cid ed one drink was al right and one (Gbmaj7)thing lead to an oth er.

The next thing you know, nine months go by, she’s

And laid in that bed,

About “His Daughter”

Can I sing "His Daughter" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "His Daughter" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in Cb, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "His Daughter" by Molly Kate Kestner in?
The backing track is in Cb at 60 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "His Daughter" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "His Daughter"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "His Daughter", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "His Daughter" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "His Daughter"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "His Daughter"?
"His Daughter" was originally performed by Molly Kate Kestner. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
Is there a karaoke version of "His Daughter" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "His Daughter" by Molly Kate Kestner. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "His Daughter" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Cb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "His Daughter" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
